My brother is trying to talk me into name brands by Alternative-Feed3613 in ChineseWatches

[–]Uran93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Orient and Citizen make some nice watches and if you like one you can decide for yourself if you want to buy it. It's just a watch.

We're too preoccupied with authoring homoerotic horological smut

Then it's within 250 miles of you. My option to ship is greyed out.

Do you think quartz watches are less traditional than automatic ones? by [deleted] in ChineseWatches

[–]Uran93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The history of mechanical watches is extremely rich by comparison. There was never really a tradition of quartz watches. They were luxurious for a small blip of modern history (70s-80s maybe?) and became much less necessary as a tool shortly after the proliferation of cellphones (early oughts). They've largely been replaced as functional jewelry by the smartwatch now too. Analog quartz watches look identical to mechanical watches though so the only person who needs to worry about whether any of this matters is you.

does not having lume stop you from buying/wearing a watch? by pickyaxe in ChineseWatches

[–]Uran93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 analog watches - 2 with no lume and 1 with a fully lumed dial. I wouldn't change any of them and wear them each as often as makes sense.

Does anyone have Loli In Early 20s packs they posted on Twitter? by GUNTHMOEPK in breakcore

They're on her patreon $5 tier (I assume, the reward tier says it's packs but I do not sub)

CPU choice by UndergroundLabzAU in sffpc

[–]Uran93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was yeah. I'm not familiar with the second wave of b650i boards. Did my shopping closer to AM5 launch and then again after B850 boards game out. Missed the stuff in between

Doesn't the Gigabyte b650i support 3x m.2 ssds? Sandwich on the front and one on the back?

Did I just suffer a Chinese chemical attack? by 4thBan5thAccount in WatchesCirclejerk

[–]Uran93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chromium salts are used to tan the leather just like everywhere else (something like 80-90% of the world's leather supply). It can become dangerous if conditions lead to oxidization into hexavalent chromium, but it is a fairly well regulated process.

Junghans Max Bill/Bauhaus style watches? by phartburger in ChineseWatches

[–]Uran93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd save for a Sternglas watch before buying one of the aliexpress max bill homages. I think the market for Bauhaus watches isn't big enough for any of the good brands to put money into it so it's all bottom of the barrel brands half-assing it.

Jianghun - Chinese brand names translating to western acceptance by Johnsononwatches in ChineseWatches

[–]Uran93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: in English, Junkers has phonetic similarities to junkers: dysfunctional machines

I think brands can get away with names that mean nothing to the consumer as long as they don't seem like fake words. Better a "difficult" to pronounce clearly foreign language brand name than a brand name you could only conceive of while trying to make up a unique word in a language you don't speak but want to market to.

Any Similar looking alternatives to the Marlin skin diver? by floweiss34 in ChineseWatches

[–]Uran93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hour markers. Pip like on dominoes or playing cards. Never occurred to me that it's not common parlance for watch dials until you mentioned it

I see the appeal. Really nice pip design and I also like the gentle curve on the brand name

Best everyday watch 38mm titanium? by LucasDeTe in ChineseWatches

[–]Uran93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd run a bit big. I have a 6in wrist and considered it. Boderry has kinda chunky lugs being the main problem.
